As Russia retaliates for the Column: West's sanctions over the war, the economic pain is adding to 'Ukraine fatigue' in the U.S. as well as Europe.
The Supreme Court has long benefited from Americans’ perception that it stood apart from partisan politics. That view has sharply eroded.“Heating prices are up. Grocery prices are up. Everything’s going up,” Pesciani said.The worries go beyond inflation. Italy’s foreign minister, Luigi Di Maio, warned recently that Russia’s blockade oncould spark a global bread war, producing famine in Africa and a new wave of migrants heading for Europe.
“It’s here already,” Nathalie Tocci, director of Italy’s Institute of International Affairs, told me. “The pain [from sanctions] is far higher in Russia than in the West, of course, but our tolerance of pain is lower. So the question is which curve is steeper — Russia’s ability to wage war or our ability to endure economic pain.”
In both Germany and France, a plurality of about 40% are in what the pollsters called a “peace camp”: They want the war to end as soon as possible, even if that requires Ukrainian concessions to Russia. About 20% are in a “justice camp”: They want to see Russia suffer a decisive defeat, even if that means a longer war.
So last week, having shown their restive voters that they had tried to make peace, the three Western leaders took a harder line in Kyiv.“Ukraine is part of the European family,” Scholz said.The three didn’t deliver what Zelensky wanted most: quick delivery of new weapons.— a welcome statement in Kyiv even if it was almost entirely symbolic.
Americans, including President Biden, have it easier. We don’t rely on Russian natural gas to heat our homes. And domestically, the confrontation with Russia has produced an unusual bipartisan consensus: Democrats have lined up behind Biden’s hawkish stance; most Republicans have too, except for the most zealously pro-Trump wing of the GOP.
